Stephen King is a brilliant writer. He’s given such great classics like The Stand, The Mist, Cycle of the Werewolf, just to name a few. 

With On Writing, he takes us on a journey of his life, explaining his beginnings of writing, and then swooping down to give some very great advice. Some if it goes against the grain, but otherwise, it is a superb and excellent resource for all authors, novelists, and writers. 

He even provides great insight for writing short story adventures which is a plus.
